The golden eggs now come into the picture :(
Very sad story of a boy king who grows up with out any thing stable but satiating his desires. Very sad mentally-ill child-man who through his evil and his followers destroys the world :(

The “suggested he stepped down from the throne” seems to come out of nowhere. It doesn’t appear he’s ever solicited or that they have given political advice before and it seems like an almost suicidal thing for them to say. As it was “against better judgement” they did think about it, so why did they say it? They were that convinced that there was someone better ready to step up, and that he would pay any attention to them?
